It's also a problem with how Fire Emblem works in general. Unless it's hard mode in some of the games in the series, you're actually killing more enemies on the enemy turn than you are on your turn. For this reason, even if archers had a standard range of 2-3, they would still be inferior to every other class.

>>13735736
That's a good point, archers almost never get to attack the enemy on the enemy's turn. Even if the enemy has a ranged weapon, it has a good chance of being 1-2 spaces, so they can just close to melee anyway, and making the archer's inferiority really painful.

But SRW is much different in the way that it works. For one, there are lots of passive buffs you can have constantly or gain through skills. And second, you get the choice of defending, avoiding, or counter attacking. In Fire Emblem, you have no choice in the matter and are forced to counter attack. There are times when I don't want to kill someone because the guy who will replace the person I killed will murder my character.
I believe they should have a diminishing return on characters. Where larger numbers on 1 person is actually a good strategy. Like after every successive battle on the same turn, stats like skill and strength/magic will slowly lower. Fire Emblem Radiant Dawn had something similar called biorhythm. Certain characters would be better/worse on certain turns. And the more emotionally driven someone was, the higher the buffs/boons were.

Thracia 776 actually had something like this called fatigue, where every action fills the fatigue stat, and if the stat grew over your HP, the unit had to stay out for a map. I think Berwick and Tearring had something similar, but I haven't played them yet. Either way it's definitely something I want to see expanded on.

Glad I didn't pay for it. So many characters are just BAD in it. It's even more obvious when compared to a game like 12. There are a lot of suboptimal characters in it, but I'm finding myself making a lot of hard decisions about who to bring because none of these characters are bad to the point of being useless (except Arran but that's the whole point of the character). In 12 you can make a character like Rody or Samto or Caesar, who lags behind someone else in the same class, work. In Fates that's a recipe for disaster.

Essentially keeping an old mechanic without any of the reasons why it was there in the first place. Even dragonstones can be purchased when the whole point of this class is to be emergency nukes that can easily kill anyone at the cost of only being able to be used 40 times.

Games Workshop are a huge bunch of Eldar sucking fanboys. There's a reason Eldar has consistently been the meta for so long, even moreso Taudar (Tau + Eldar) which is just so badly designed that it's actually broken.
Meanwhile one of the only fun factions, Tyranids get shafted with each iteration. The one thing Tyranids have for them each edition get removed, meanwhile they sit around at a table asking how can they make Eldar even stronger this edition.
Hell Tyranids couldn't even fucking ally with the Genestealer Cult when they first released, which was a fucking faction of Tyranid controlled units.

Relic maybe. Games Workshop? Last time I checked, every time GW wanted to show how badass a character was, they would have him or her anally raping an Avatar of Khain with their little finger.
The only faction that GW likes to abuse more are the Sororitas, and they get slaughtered by their own fucking allies (Grey Knights) so they can use their blood as freaking makeup.

Secret of Mana was admired because of it's technical feat. It was the Crysis of the SNES generation as it was coded by a single Iranian coder who programmed it in assembly in under 6 months.

I'm afraid of it being successful, because Santa Monica is supposedly often with a monetary problem and that would just enable them to change the style of the game for good.

Did you forget you can infinitely farm for stat boosting items in that game? Raising Luck on the Frog guy is one of my favorite things I've done because when you combine that with his shaman form ability he becomes a grind master.

I come to these threads to figure out what not to do in vidya making.
I have a set of characters with gimmicks, and they're mostly really good ones. For example, a merchant class having shit stats and skills that cost gold, but if you take him along he doubles your item and money gain. And you don't have to keep him in your frontline either, he's utility mainly, but if you want to get around his shitty stats, you can equip an accessory that increases magic by percentage, and then give him spells, so you don't have to rely on his bad merchantry skills. And the merchant skills have unique effects, so they're not useless.
It's really not hard, all you have to do is to add a weakness for every strength and vice versa. Change a resource used, build your characters AROUND your game, make your core system work before you design characters, like the element exploitation system in Persona or SMT.
And you HAVE to have something just slightly complex to work around, otherwise your options becomes limited and the only thing that separates your characters from others is the animations they have access too.
I can forgive Breath of Fire 2 since it was clearly done in an era where no one knew what the fuck they were doing design wise and had little to build off of, though.

It's not original, but I have a bit of love for those old gimmick classes, like Robot from Saga 2, and the various item caddies like Rikku from FFX.
Darkest Dungeon kinda put that shit in as an afterthought and it fuckin' shows. You should NEVER have that sort of character in your party at all, since you need to prioritize strong everything since your characters can get killed on a bad roll, in a RNG heavy game, gimmick characters will always lose out.
Having a dude who can determine his stats based on equipment requires that you make "modules" that specifically alter stats or make unique items that you can find (aka the "parts" from Live A Live for the turtle robot from the mecha chapter) takes only a small amount of planning and work.
If you want to make an effective item caddy then all you have to do is give items flat effects compounded by stats, healing items get big ass flats with normal stat mods, and attack items would be practically based around stats, and the Item Caddy character only needs to double or triple it's effects to match up with other characters' damage, which has a flat rate of 2 multiplied by the attack stat. You could also make a way for the caddy to make attack items or have them readily available from shops. This allows you to control what items to introduce to avoid breaking the game.
Having characters that have their own rules should mean you should be able to max those characters out or use them to level 99 without issue, and honestly it comes down to tiny, TINY changes you should consider and build around from the start.

Reminds me of pic related. My brother and I played through this one back in the day. It's been a while so I might misremember a bit of this, but we fucked up pretty badly. The game played similar to fire emblem, and if the main character died you had to retry the map. We held MC back because we deemed it too risky to have him participate in combat. This lead to a situation where he was underleveled and easily killed, and that lead back into a cycle of him not fighting. We got to the final boss, and our regular units should have killed him. However, the game wanted you to have the main character land the final blow using his special sword of light, but our main character was still level 1. There wasn't any way to grind levels or anything so we were pretty worried for a bit. However, we ended up eventually getting around it by leaving the boss with a single health point and giving MC several units to safely be escorted by.
